Overview
- Gójar has filed a contentious‑administrative appeal against Granada’s mobility ordinance and low‑emission zone, which is slated to start enforcement on October 1.
- The filing argues procedural irregularities, the absence of a rigorous socioeconomic impact study, insufficient coordination with neighboring towns, and misalignment with the Andalusian metropolitan transport plan.
- Other nearby municipalities governed by the PSOE, including Armilla and Maracena, have also opposed Granada’s ordinance through formal objections or announced legal action.
- In Lorca, the city council will seek initial approval of its ZBE ordinance at the next plenary session, triggering a one‑month public exposure period and possible entry into force before year‑end if no objections are upheld.
- Lorca officials say the rule is not punitive, with restrictions for vehicles without an environmental label planned from 2030 for non‑residents or those heading to public car parks, and report ministry‑approved changes that secure €3.2 million in Next Generation EU funding.
